BSA membership offers many great benefits (including some new ones for members only!), most of which we make available to the greater bibliographical public: our events, Fellowships, the New Scholars Program, and more. The Society has been working hard to bring our vision of a broader, more inclusive, and exciting bibliographical community to life. To do this, we want to bring more people in! To strengthen and develop the membership of the Bibliographical Society of America, today we are launching our first-ever membership drive!
We are delighted to announce that the new editors of Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America will be Dr. Jesse R. Erickson and Dr. Sarah Werner.
The Bibliographical Society of America is looking for a new President and two new Council Members who will be elected at our Annual Meeting on 28 January 2022. The President serves for a two-year term, renewable once, and Council members serve for a three-year term, renewable once. Please consider nominating yourself or other possible candidates! We strongly value the expertise and collegiality of all of our members and especially welcome nominees who represent the racial and ethnic diversity of bibliographic communities in the United States. The Nominating Committee seeks individuals who are committed to helping the Society fulfill the goals laid out in its Equity Action Plan.
This is a special year for the BSA Annual Fund! A group of Council members has banded together to offer a $21,000 matching grant challenge for the 2021 Annual Fund! Help us to earn that matching gift by making your donation today.
